Average Vacation Expenses in Sri Lanka

3.57%

— value growth in dollar since 2017

The Sri Lankan Rupee lost ground to the dollar over the last year, with the dollar worth 3.57 percent more this year. In the aftermath of the defeat at the polls in February 2018 of two member parties of the governing coalition, traders have bought up dollars by the fistfull, devaluing the Sri Lanka Rupee and making prices this summer too low to resist. Like Nepal and Indonesia, the prices of meals, commodities, and especially getting around, are already quite low.
